Mongiardino Ligure
13 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Mongiardino Ligure, a scattered municipality of just 144 inhabitants high in Piedmont's upper Val Sisola, a tributary of Val Borbera, stands out as a unique enclave under the historical influence of the Archdiocese of Genoa. This distinct geographical and cultural setting fosters a particular array of agricultural excellences. Among its 13 protected denominations, the region is a cornerstone for the esteemed Colli Tortonesi DOC wines, where specific varietals thrive in the local microclimates. Beyond wine, this terrain also contributes to the renowned Piemonte DOC wines and the prized Vitelloni Piemontesi della Coscia IGP. The area's specific conditions ensure the authenticity and quality that define these products.
